Sleepy Hollow Mtn Race at Cochran's

Sleepy Hollow Mtn Race at Cochran's

The Sleepy Hollow Mtn Race takes place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at Cochran's Ski Area in Richmond, VT. Founded in 2012 to share northwest Vermont trails with the New England mountain running community, the event is part of the USATF-New England Mountain Running Series. Finishers in the series can earn "Mountain Goat" status by completing at least seven races and may receive a bypass in the following year’s Mount Washington Road Race Lottery.

Race entry includes a 7mi +/- steep trail course, timing and results, and post-race pancakes with Running Saps maple syrup available to racers and spectators. The event notes a local Vermont atmosphere, the likelihood of muddy conditions in spring, and that some participants wear costumes on course.

Registration categories and fees are: Adult $30 plus registration fee, Youth (ages 14–18) $25 plus registration fee, and Kids free. There is no registration limit, no day-of registration, no refunds, and no waitlist. Bib pickup is held on race morning at the Cochran's Ski Area main lodge.

Prizes and recognition include a raffle distributed at bib pickup, in-kind podium awards for top three overall male, female, and non-binary finishers and top three in listed age groups, a Royal Goats of the Mountain prize for the first runners to the alpine slope (finish required), and a Muddiest prize. A portion of proceeds will benefit the US Junior Mountain Running Team and a local nonprofit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
